Meanwhile, many users *like* userboxes, silly though they may be. It keeps them happy, which means they stay and make more productive edits.
Several of the editors most stridently defending userboxes are editors who have few, if any, article edits. I looked at one user's contributions today where that editor has edited virtually nothing other than his own user page, various user boxes in the template space, and the userbox project page.
What purpose is served by this editor's participation in Wikipedia? Does this person really qualify as a "Wikipedian"?
